Wednesday,
February 9th was Samantha's 5th birthday. To her this was a big day, and
now that she is 5 she thinks the world has changed over night. She tells
all of her friends that she is 5 and older then them. She is gaining confidence
to try things that she couldn't do before, such as opening the childproof
doorknobs. And she thinks that she needs all new clothes because the other
ones were for when she was 4.
Well
for such a special day, we tried to make it fun. For her it was all
about presents, so I wrapped up as many things as I could and gave her
presents throughout the day. Most of her presents were food items like
her own box of cereal and her own box of fruit snacks; she seemed to
think it was great.

For lunch we went to Chil-Fil-a, where Samantha
got to have her own kids meal. The kids played and then we got
ice-cream cones and then they went back to play some more. Next
we stopped at Wal-Mart to pick up balloons and some things for
her cake.

That
night Craig and Cherise came over to help us celebrate. We went
to dinner at Los Cucos, where Samantha got her meal free. They
also gave her a free dessert and all the waiters’ came
out and sang to her.
Next
we went back home for presents and cake. The Princess Analiese
cake had cracked and hadn't been finished, but we settled for
cupcakes and finished the cake the next day.

The
Next Day
|
|
| This
is Samantha the next day at preschool celebrating her birthday
with her friends. She was really disappointed when I told her
a few weeks ago that her friends would not be bringing presents
for her birthday party, but now I know on the side that she was
telling everyone to bring them anyway. We had preschool that day
as normal except we saved snack time for the end when we had pizza,
cupcakes and icecream. |

I just wanted to forget the whole cake idea, but I whipped up
some frosting and Samantha helped me make her pink dress. The
frosting was a little runny and because the cake had cracked
the princess was a little short. The pictures are really funny,
because Analise looks like she is melting. At least Samantha
was happy.
